  1. Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager

    Yeah I noticed that yesterday. Yesterday was a chink of light for once so roll with it people. I know it wasn't a great performance and the late win doesn't solve everything but it was joyous none the less and we have to enjoy those moments as we don't get them often these days! It certainly...
  2. Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager

    Just caught the end of yesterday's game again. Still buzzing from it. Nothing like two unexpected late goals to win a game is there. Really does stir up old memories and emotions. I'm emotionless watching us in general so makes a nice change. Seeing the buzz in the manager, players and in the...
  3. Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager

    Wow. That was a totally unexpected amazing end to that game. Glad I carried on watching but we were having a go and Martial could've scored just before. Let's hope a turning point as things like that can be a catalyst. Get in!
  4. Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager

    The club is in the biggest mess since the 70s. Everyone is right, until the Glazers do one, nothing will change. Not taking any blame away from the management and players though. It's one big shit show from top to bottom but can only get better when they go. They just won't though will they...
  5. Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager

    Let's be honest, a lot of those performances weren't very good, regardless of 12 wins. We've gone downhill since the cup final. We all saw them. This season the performances are similar but we're losing more games to reflect it
  6. Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager

    Yet another game where I'm watching us with no emotion at all. They've sucked it out of me these last ten years. Just a huge mess from top to bottom. Totally aimless business/franchise now in every way
  7. Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager

    It's hard work isn't it. Were winning and how we generally win, down to a bit of world classery. The rest of it is tiring to watch every week. Is this what we've become? Allowing Burnley to dominate us even though they're clearly offering no threat. I guess they're so desperate for the win, it's...
  8. Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager

    As a lot keep saying, injuries etc so let's see how we do when they're all fit etc. I don't hold out much hope though as we've been poor since Feb not just this season so far with various starters. We'll see though. All we can do is hope
  9. Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager

    I've seen some posts saying our next x amount of games are winnable etc. They would be in days (long) gone by but at the moment, I only view them as 50/50. We may have players who are apparently better or certainly cost more (inflated prices for us every time) but against 11 other pros with...
  10. The "OK Calm Down Everyone, We'll Be Fine" Thread

    They are genuinely tough 50/50 games for us. Only in our glorious past would I look at these as a good run of fixtures. We shall see....
  11. Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager

    We've been poor since the league cup final so since Feb. That's a long time now with various players in the first team. There is no real excuse to be consistently this defensively naive since then. I can't help but think many managers would've sorted this out by now. Are his systems and tactics...
  12. Expectations for the season

    I think even the most optimistic are starting to wake up . It really is the same every game. Again though, at least I can watch them passively these days. I caught the end of some BT show last night about champs league history. Showed our 99 Juve game and final with Cole. Oh the joy it brought...
  13. Expectations for the season

    I admire the optimism from some posters but I just don't know why anyone can be optimistic after seeing what we've seen. I know we went on a good run last season but again, look at those last few months and now the start of this. It's really bad imho and so bad in basic areas, I fail to see how...
  14. Expectations for the season

    I wish it was as simple as a poor start to the season, tough fixtures and injuries etc. We've been this bad since Feb is the problem with various players in the starting 11. We all know what we're watching every week. We're consistently very naive. I'll be stunned if this gets fixed pretty...
  15. Expectations for the season

    We all assume what Erik is trying to do is complicated and will take a lot of time. I'm hanging it on that Ajax team that spanked Madrid a few years back. Think we all are. This is blind faith though isn't it. As we know and see, so many 'lesser' teams play consistent, structured and decent...
